Il Moro: A Screening and Q&A with director Daphne Di Cinto

Il Moro - The Moor is a short film about the untold story of Alessandro de’ Medici, the first Duke of Florence in 1530 and the first man of African descent to become a head of state in Renaissance Europe. While unveiling a true story from the past, the film aims to speak loudly of the situations that Black Europeans are still experiencing today and to celebrate today's Afro-European community in the history of the continent. Join us for a screening of the film and a Q&A with Daphne Di Cinto, director of Il Moro and former Bridgerton actress. This event is sponsored by the Center for the Humanities,  Charles Library, the College of Liberal Arts' departments of History, Global Studies,  Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures, and Temple's Study Abroad program.
